In a major relief for the former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, the Supreme Court stayed the summon issued by the special CBI court in a coal scam case. Singh had moved the Supreme Court, challenging the summon and calling it an act of political vendetta by the NDA government.
The special CBI court had asked Singh to appear before it on April 8 in connection with the scam. The economist ex-PM has already been questioned by them in the case, which had severely embarrassed the UPA government in its second stint. They had summoned Singh along with five others including former coal secretary PC Parakh earlier in March. Singh has been accused of criminal conspiracy, corruption and breach of trust by a public servant.
The Congress had also rejected the charges. The party spokesperson Manish Tewari had said that it needs to be understood that the Supreme Court did not pass even a whisper of a stricture on former PM Manmohan Singh and added that the former PM and the former government conducted itself with utmost transparency.
